Abstract

The tRNA-(N1G37) methyltransferase (TrmD) is essential for growth and highly conserved in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Additionally, TrmD is very distinct from its human orthologue TRM5 and thus is a suitable target for the design of novel antibacterials. Screening of a collection of compound fragments using Haemophilus influenzae TrmD identified inhibitory, fused thieno-pyrimidones that were competitive with ...
